HFIP workshop - NHC, Miami, 9-10 Nov 2009

3 Statement of the role of global models From HFIP global modeling plan Dec 2008 TC track forecasts for duration of 2 days and longer especially dependent on global models, either directly or through critical lateral boundary conditions for regional models. Thus, HFIP global model forecasts will be the distillation of combined efforts from the Global Modeling Team with those from: Physics Team Data Assimilation Team Ensemble Forecast Team Global Model Team efforts will critically affect Regional Model forecasts for TCs. 3

Setting of ptop to 50 Pa (instead of 10 Pa) and min thickness near top = 50 Pa. TACC FIM updated to r762 at same time. 7/26/ z - FIM revision Includes xkt2 random number generator cloud top in convective parameterization, also fixes errors to properly set the initial liquid soil moisture (was being set as total soil moisture including frozen). 7/22/ z - Revision to reference potential temperature table to spread out vertical levels near top, revision 661 3/20/ z - FIM revision Correction of initialization and evolution of liquid soil moisture.

19 NRL NRL NOGAPS Recent Upgrades: Impact on TC track New multi-level sea-ice temperature prediction, Change in lower level cumulus cloud prediction (fixed low cloud bias) Correct optical thickness calculation, which over-estimated mixed cloud thicknesses Increased lower perturbation temperature in the cumulus parameterization Results Statistically significant improvement in SH AC Statistically significant improvement in TC tracks at 96 h Small but significant Arctic AC improvement in the winter season Reduced lower tropical temperature error No increase in run-time Ridout, Hogan, Peng
20 The GFDL High-Resolution Atmosphere Model is developed for km resolution, sharing most of the codes with the GFDL AM2/AM3 for IPCC, except the following major modifications GFDL Non-hydrostatic Cubed-sphere Finite-Volume dynamical core. 6-category single-moment bulk cloud microphysics with computational efficiency significantly improved with time implicit treatment of microphysics processes and vertically Lagrangian terminal fall of all condensates (rain, snow, ice, and graupel). Subgrid cloud formation is accounted for by using both vertical & horizontal subgrid distributions (with a PDF approach). The deep convective parameterization scheme is replaced by an essentially non-precipitating shallow convection scheme (Zhao et al. 2009) Surface fluxes modified for high-wind situation over ocean (Moon et al. 2007)
21 Gnomonic Cubed Sphere grid GFDL Defined by intersects of great circles with equaldistance along 12 edges Maximum local grid aspect ratio ~ Maximum global grid aspect ratio ~ Resolutions: 1) TC climatology: C180, x ~ 50 km 2) HFIP 2009: C360, x ~ 25 km 3) HFIP 2010: C720, x ~ 12.5 km 4) Cloud-resolving C2000, x ~ 4.5 km Can also be used as a regional model Hurricane in a doubly periodic box
